Arguing with n BOiter,

In the early days, when politics was
father rough, Bill Carr was famous as
manipulated. During the fight for
Broderick for Senator there was one
leg slator who gave great deal OF
trouble. He had been engaged to
both sides, and even then refused to
say put, and Broderck had MAIDS up
his mind that the traitor would go into
caucus against him. His vote was a
danger, and several consultations were
had. At last Carr lost all patience and
said: you have wasted more time on
that man than he's worth. l cave him
to me, and I'll guarantee he won't vote
IN this caucus"
1t was so agreed, and Carr lail his
plans. He put half dozen men on
the roof of an unfinished house, from
which depended block and tackle,
and gave them orders 10 haul away
when he said hoist Then he de eyed
the frail one beneath the rope, and
hastily throwing moose round his
waist yelled out "Haul away" The
boys pulled with will, and in few
seconds the delegate was on the roof,
and Carr walked off, after saying: "If
he makes noise pitch him off, and say
he fell off"
The caucus came, and scouts were
sent out in all directions for the miss
ing one, who could not be found, and
! in his absence Iroderick won the fight.
The member was kept on the roof till
midnight, and then given q chance to
sneak out of town. San Fl anciSGO

PAIN itself is not without alterations.
It may be violent and frequent, but it
is seldom both violent and long-con-

the power of shedding q satisfaction
over intervals of ease which few enjoy

ECONOMY is the parent of integrity,
of liberty. and of ease, a d the beau

having perfected the functions of his

widest hopeful influence, both person

over the lives of others.

A little brighter, happier just beyond.
For Just beyond us waits our Fathers house,

MINING JOURNAL.
SATURDAY MORNING. JAN Is. 1887

A FEARFUL affair is reported from
Verviers, in Belgium. An unframed
lion called Brutus, on being let into
cage which an attendant named Gre
mier had not had time to leave, showed
signs of great excitement taking pro-
digious leaps all about the stage and
uttering appalling roars. Seeing the
man in danger, the lion queen, Nine.
Sonnet, entered the cage to enable
Gremier to withdraw, when the lion
rushed at her and fastened his teeth in
the lower part of her face. A profess
sional trainer, Auguste Bonvillant,
went to her rescue, and by main force
opened the lions jaws, thus enabling
the unfortunate woman to totter ont OF
the cage A portion of her lower jaw,
with some of the teeth, hal been bit
ten away. The savage beast turned his
fury upon Bonvillant, and he and the
lion actually wrestled together for two
or three minutes, the lion savagely
biting the man about the chest and
shoulders. Finally one of the attend
ants, 10y attacking the lion with pitch
fork from outside the cage, made him
let go his hold, and Bonv.llant rushed
out of the cage and tainted away. Nine.
Soumet's life is despaired of, but Bon
yillant is expected to recover.

A Steam PlOW.

An English journal mentions a
novelty in plows used in Spain; 1t
works the land to a depth of thirty
inches, and turns furrow two feet
wide. 1t is drawn by two sixteen
horse power engines. 1t is one-fur-
row pillow, but fitted with two plows.
the first turning q furrow sixteen
inches wide and fourteen inches deep,
the second following to depth OF
thirty inches and turning oves fur
row twenty-four inches wide, leaving
the land completely loosened to a
depth of thirty inches. Drawn by the
steam engines, the &C cunt says, it is
possible with this pillow to turn over
four acres per day. In cases where
it is not necessary to turn up the land
to this great depth, but simply to stir
up the under-soil, all that is required
is to take of the last pillow and in its
place fix a subsoil share, which may
reach to a depth of tweny-four OF
thirty inches. .--..-

NUMEROUS instances have been re-
corded of late in the medical journals,
says Science, of the complete reunion
of portions OF fingers which had beer
cut off from the hand, in some cases by
the kniie and in others by the ave. In
one case q man, in cutting kindlings
for the morning Ere, accidentally cut
off the end of his thumb He had gone
from the place some twenty feet, when
he returned, picked up the end, wiped
it and replaced it, binding 1t in its
original place as nearly as possible.
The wound united; and the finger is
now as good as ever, save that it's sensi-
bility is somewhat diminished. In
another case boy chopped off the ends
of three fingers. He was seen by a
physician three or four hours after the
accident. The ends of the fingers had
been found in the snow, and were
brought to him. He attached them,
and two of the three united.

the property of Spanish masters until
1918, when, with other Spanish slaves,
she fled from the town of Pensacola
after it was taken by Gen. Jackson.
She lived in the Seminole country from
then until the second treaty of peace
with the Seminoles, when she was re-
garded as their common property and
was removed with them to the Indian
Territory. She leaves one daughter
living, who resides in Austin, Tex, and
is in her 9th year. She leaves many
grandchildren, some of them nearly 20
years of age.

A RECENT London paper publishes
what purports TO be Thibetan lama's
explanation of the reason why his
,countrymen and co-religionists shut the
gates of their country against Euro
pean missionaries. "They say" re-
marked the lama of his people, "that
Europeans have good religion which
they do not generally practice, and yet
wish to force on others whose religion
is as good and is practiced. The Eu-
ropeans are believed to be full
of greed; for, living in rich
country. they always acquire other
countries, and, while they talk of their
benevolent purposes. they destroy
animal life every day for their own
food, thus becoming clouded in calm
intellect and in the perception of true
morality. They also think their re-
iigion, language, and customs the best.
If we were to think so of ours, it would
be considered by us deviation from
the path. Among the nine rnles for
conduct we are directed never to sup
pose, much less to say, that our re-
ligion Is the best, considering that sim
cere men of other religions are deeply
attached to them, and, on that account,
do good to others. All we can do is
also to do good and not to criticise the
good of others"

The Vienna papers are making merry
over bet made day or two ago by a
celebrated shoemaker in that city. He
undertook from a given calf to manu-
facture pair of boots within twenty
four hours of the animals death. The
conditions were made and commit

duly carried out. Large stakes were
put into the hands of an impartial
stakeholder. Early in the morning of
the appointed day calf was killed in
the presence of numerous witnesses.
The skin was at the tannery at nooa;
it was properly tanned and turned over
to one of the most skillful hands of the
spirited shoemaker that very evening,
and next morning it reappered in the
shape of pair of boots, which were
worn by the man who owned the calf
that had carried the skin on the day
before. So many orders have focked

to this event, which veritably marks an

The Cheyenne Failure.

There can no longer be any doubtof
the failure Of Moreton Il. Post 4 Co.,
the Cheyenne bankers. The failure
was owing to losses sustained by the
cattle interest last winter and failure

made to them by the bank during the
prosperous stock growing in that ter
ritory. According to hasty exami-
nation of the books their assets are

Post Percheron Horse association WAS
not afflicted by the bank failure. The
failure created but little excitement at
Cheyenne, and no run on the other
banks was made. Business people
had expected the failure Tor some
time and were very light depositors.

Walker and other Helena men are at
work upon government survey. Mr..
Reeder has an extensive contract
there, embracing about twenty town.
ships, and the party has been at work
upon it since last August, with the
prospect OF not finishing before the
last Of the year. Mr., Fem says that
they have had some trouble with the
Indians, but nothing very serious.
When they first went out one of the
boys, Damed Webster, fell in with a
party OF Indians one dark night when
away from camp. The Indians were
policemen huoting for red hDrse-
thief. They thought they had him
when they struck Webster and im-
mediately took him into custody. As
the darkness was so intense, they
could not distinguish his features, but
rubbing their hands over his face, dis
covered taat he was q white man, and
let him 20. As may be imagined, the
mans experience was anything but
pleasant.
At another time, when the party
were out setting corners, they ran the
the lines right into Chief PleIt icoues,
who, by strange coincidence. tad his
tepees pitched just where one of the
corners had 10 be located. The boys
ran right into camp, but cid PleDti-
coues got excited and ordered them
off. Then ensued scene, Reeder in-
sisting on placing the corner and
threatening the Indians TO send for
the soldiers If they interfered with his
work. Plenticoues was obstinate,
however, and refused 10 give in, so
the surveyors hsu TO mark the spot
and await more favorable time for
setting the corner.
BESIDES this Mr.. Fem says the In
disns are continually hanging around
the surveyor camp Begging for"grub'
aud tobacco, and annoying the party
not little by their impotence. But
beyond this they have experienced no
trouble from the redmen. However

prevent their provisions being spirited
away by the chronicslly hungry
